The AAC+ files downloaded to your device can only be played on your device and  
on your account, and once they have been downloaded, they cannot be  
downloaded again without being repurchased.

can access the files in case your microSD card is lost or damaged, or if you install a  
new microSD card.

2. Use your computer to navigate to the microSD card’s Music folder.

Although you can store AAC+ files on your computer, they will only be  
playable on your device and on your account. If you copy the files to a new  
microSD card, you will need to create a folder on the card called “MUSIC”  
to be able to play the music files.
